Jamie Williams has been selected for the Biennial Luerzer Archive Special Edition: 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide 2009/10.
This impressive volume showcases their selection of the world's best illustrators, made from 4,716 submissions received from 44 countries. The selection panel included Jason Brooks (famed for the Martini advert with rich silhouettes at leisure in it), Takahiro Kanie (president of the Japanese Society of Illustrators) and Anelle Miller (Executive director of the society of Illustrators, New York).
The latest edition boasts an excellent mix of familiar names and new talents. Just 49 illustrators featured in the previous two issues managed to keep their place in the current 200 Best, and are now joined by 152 new artists.
And there was a further hurdle to scale before submissions could even be considered. Only those nominated by an ad agency art director or a publisher were eligible to present work - which must have appeared within the last 18 months - to the two-tier jury. Those who made it through this arduous process truly do merit the title "200 Best Illustrators."
The book is in edition of 30,000 and distributed in 35 countries at an equivalent price to 29.50. Find out more at the Luerzer Archive website.
